And the Casino Vote is…

Today was the day of the vote from the Iowa Gaming Commission to decide whether or not Cedar Rapids would be getting the new Cedar Crossing casino. There were a total of 5 votes to be cast. And while they enjoyed the application, and read the many, many letters for and against the casino, the vote came down to the 2 economic studies, stating that this casino would have too large of a negative impact on the other casinos in the area. Only 1 vote was for yes. 4 votes were for no.
